Interesting.
I like how you have planned this. Of course, We all meet many people going through divorce......all different.
I've always felt, say , my son, needs a strong woman to direct and guide him, but before all sane friends cough, splutter and giggle while drinking their morning coffee and reading this message, no, I'm not a 'Freudian' any more, I do not believe all people need a partner to fufill their lives.

What is interesting is that you have looked at yourself and worked out it's space and different experiences that you need.

Hey @justanother47yr, otherwise known as Anne, I like the sound of a man who works with horses! I used to work with horses and I reckon horses are a pretty good judge of a person's character! You can't muck about with them or they will bite, kick or throw you off!
Been years since I have ridden one, and I am not sure if my nerve would get me back up on a horse again, maybe a a 10 or 11 hand pony...and one that preferably like to walk or canter..I have always hated galloping and trotting! Too much up and done in trotting and way way too fast in a gallop..
Just back from holidays..what a lucky person I am as by the end of it, I was feeling pretty chilled..relaxed even! Due largely to my ace husband doing 100% of the cooking!

I plan on taking myself much less seriously

Hi Sandy,
sounds wonderful! arent you a lucky girl that hubby cooked 100% of the time......golly...

I missed your wonderful messages but happy to know that you went away.
Yes, we have coffee......., me and the horse person. My dog, Arlo, likes him a lot.. It's weird, I seem to always attract partners who are angry, but not my last husband who I have written about so much. I never want to see him again but I think that I will never divorce him. there is no other way I can get a message that I care very much about him.
I really liked reading you had a relaxing time. Can you write what you did?

I have had many years of therapy: I've come out of it........very different than I thought I would ever had. I am living my own life at least .......and a regular visitor to my wonderful GP. the most important is that my two children are managing their own lives.

good to see your back, Anne

What did I do on holidays? I reckon 5 days of nothing much, just pottering really..read books, played a lot of Candy Crush! Went for walks with 4 legged therapist, took pics of water, skies, sand..watched TV..lots of Horrible Histories 🙂 went for a swim and browsed lots of bookshops! I might have even played paper planes...
